Amanda Holden aims dig at BBC as she airs complaint about new series feature: ‘It’s not good’
Amanda Holden made a subtle dig at the BBC as she aired some complaints about the third series of her travel show with Alan Carr.
Presenter Holden, 54, had been discussing the latest series of the duo’s show, Amanda and Alan’s Greek Job, which follows their previous shows based in Italy and Spain respectively.
As Holden and Carr, 48, shared their thoughts about the show, the Britain’s Got Talent judge joked that their next series should air on Netflix instead.
Opening up on Carr’s travel podcast, he asked his co-star: “Do you remember we had to wee in behind bins and s**** like that? I’m dreading it.”
“I have a pile of clothes on me at the back. I’ve got all of Alan’s shirts, like 15 dresses I’ll change into, three hats lined up on the back,” Holden replied.
“And then we get out and I get changed in loos where there’s like wee on the floor, beach huts. That’s behind the scenes.”
Carr continued: “But the thing is people don’t understand there’s no… The toilets aren’t working when we get there. We have to go and use someone’s toilet or a portaloo.”
“We have to beg for… I mean, how many umbrellas have you put up over various countries when I’ve had to wee behind them?” Holden asked.

She continued: “You’ll notice that there’s hundreds of costume changes for us as well. So we travel, for some reason, the company that we do it with, always hire the smallest cars.
“And I’m in the back with Christian, who does our hair and make up. You’re in the front doing the music selection.”
The pair went on to admit they don’t like the name of their series, with Carr joking it should have been called My Big Fat Greek Renovation instead.
“It’s not good. Well, we should argue with the BBC about that,” Holden added. Later in the conversation, she went on: “But I’ve always wanted to visit Japan.
“It’s like the place to go. I want to go in the spring. And I just think maybe Alan, we should just go to Netflix with our next show, Big in Japan with Amanda and Alan. Yeah. Love it. That idea is with them.”
The BBC declined to comment when GB News contacted the broadcaster over the comments.
Holden did recently land a gig on Netflix with new series, Cheat: Unfinished Business, which she hosted.
The controversial show, which follows former couples whose relationships ended due to cheating, recently landed on the streaming platform.
A synopsis from Netflix reads: “As they reunite at a retreat, each pair will be guided through their issues by relationship expert, Paul C. Brunson, in the hopes that they can face up to their past mistakes, rebuild trust and move forward – either together or apart.
“Will the cheaters be able to fight for forgiveness and win back the hearts of those they betrayed? Or will they have to say goodbye to their relationship for good?”
The unsavoury subject matter prompted a string of responses, with many baffled as to why Holden is willing to take part, while others felt the subject manner was too “triggering” to be used as the basis of light entertainment.
